About Us

We are a growing collective intent on creating space for dialogue, research, and community around material culture in Canada and beyond.

Our Approach

At the Material Culture Collective, we believe that objects tell stories — about care, power, identity, and place. Our work is grounded in collaborative, interdisciplinary, and community-engaged approaches to material culture. We bring together scholars, artists, curators, and students to explore how everyday and extraordinary things shape our lives and histories.

Through workshops, blogs, publications, and peer mentorship, we create space to reflect, connect, and imagine new possibilities for material culture work in the 21st century.
